1. Product Overview
Never attempt to lift the control box by yourself. Always use two (2) or more
persons with proper lifting equipment.
The Quick Disconnect Control Box was designed to work 12" and 16" GSI Series II Sweeps.This Quick
Disconnect Control Box modular design will allow you to move the control box to each sweep location,
therefore only one control box is needed to control all of the same size sweeps. Each sweep location
will require a docking station for the control box base to slide into. The control box base is supplied with
four (4) handles for manual lifting. These handles can be installed in any of the holes located on the
outside edges of the base back plate. The base back plate also has two (2) chain lift holes for
mechanical hoisting.

4. Introduction
There should ALWAYS be two (2) people in the work area.
A main power disconnect switch capable of being locked only in the OFF position
should be used. The disconnect must be locked in the off position before
unplugging either end of the cord. It should also be locked whenever work is
being done on the Series II Sweep. This has been integrated into the control panel
after June of 2010.
NOTE: The horsepower recommendations are for augering reasonably dry grain. High moisture grain
(greater than 15%) will require greater power for maximum capacity. The maximum capacity will
be less with high moisture grain than with dry grain.
Sweep drive and carrier wheels require plates or track over aeration flooring for travel and supports
not supplied with the sweep unit. Contact your installer or flooring provider for possible source
and details.
2. A magnetic starter should be used to protect the motor when starting and stopping. It should stop
the motor in case of power interruption, conductor fault, low voltage, circuit interruption or motor
overload. The motor must be restarted manually. Some motors have built-in thermal overload
protection. If this is the type of motor being used, use only those with a manual reset.
3. The motor starting controls must be located outside the bin. They must NEVER be installed on the
Series II auger inside the bin.
4. Disconnect and lock out the power before resetting motor overloads.
5. Disconnect and lock out the power before entering the bin.
6. Disconnect and lock out the power before servicing the equipment.
7. Position the reset and motor starting controls so that the operators have full view of the equipment.
8. Make sure electric motors are grounded.

5. Assembly
The control panel must be mounted outside the bin near the door. The foot switch
has to be plugged into the control panel and depressed before the sweep is
operational. It has a 10' cord so the sweep can only be monitored from outside
the bin.
Docking Station Mount
Securely mount the docking station outside of the bin near the bin door. Figure 5A shows the hole pattern
and diameter. The docking station must be close enough to the bin door to plug in the 10' long foo t switch
cord. The operator must be outside of the bin and be able to depress the foot switch while visually
monitoring the sweep through the bin door.

Control Panel Conduit Hole (Pre-June 2010)
NOTE: The Series II Sweep has used different control boxes. The quick disconnect kit will fit either style
box. Hardware is provided to mount an older style box (with ears) to the mounting plate. The new
style box already has hardware installed in the rear of the box.
1. Cut a hole into the side panel of the control box in the location shown in Figure 5B. Hole to be sized
for 1-1/2" rigid conduit (approximately 1.900"). Make sure all metal chips/shavings are removed from
the inside of the box.

Use 1/4"-14 x 1-1/4" screws for handles that attach to the base back plate at the
stiffener bar locations. Use 1/4"-14 x 1" screws for handles that attach at all other
locations. These handles are for guidance only. See Figure 1A on Page 5 for
lifting instructions.
Using the wrong size screws can cause the threads to strip or not give enough
support and serious injury or death can occur.
Install each receptacle to the panel with the supplied hardware. Consult the wiring schematic in the panel
enclosure for proper electrical connection locations.
Once the receptacles have been properly installed, the auxiliary guidance handles can be attached to the
panel assembly.
Guidance Handle Installation
Attach handles. Four (4) handles are supplied and can be located in any of the holes on the outside
edges of the back base plate. USE THE CORRECT SIZE SCREWS. (Only two (2) handles shown.)

6. Start-Up
To ensure that the drive is not unexpectedly started, turn OFF and lock out the
power source before proceeding. Failure to observe these precautions could
result in bodily injury.
Failure to perform any or all of these pre-start checks may cause damage to the
equipment and/or cause SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH to those in the work area.
Failure to perform any or all of these pre-start checks may also be a misuse of
the equipment. Any misuse of the equipment may void the warranty.
ALWAYS keep ALL guards and shields in place, until all the power is
disconnected and locked out.
Be sure to remove the grain from the drive chain and sprockets. If this is not
done, damage can occur to the drive system.
Make certain ONLY trained operators are in the work area before operating or
moving the machine. Two (2) people must always be in position to monitor the
operation of the equipment from outside the bin.
Perform Pre-Start Checks
1. Make sure ALL shields are in place.
2. Inspect the drive unit for any problems or potential problems.
3. Be aware of any emergency shut down procedures. Two (2) people must always be in position to
monitor the operation of the equipment from outside the bin.
4. Before starting the auger for the first time, make sure that all parts are assembled correctly according
to the instructions in this manual.
32PNEG-1366 12" and 16" Series II Sweep Quick Disconnect Control Box Kit
Page 33
6. Start-Up
DO NOT start or stop the auger while it is under load.
Failures may occur if the auger is run full before it has been “polished” during
the “break-in” period.
NEVER operate the auger empty. Operating augers empty for any length of
time will cause excessive wear. NEVER operate the auger at speeds higher
than recommended.
Be aware of any unusual vibration or noises during the initial start-up and
“break-in” period. If anything unusual is detected, immediately shut down the
auger and disconnect and lock out the power supply before servicing.
Start the Auger
1. Plug the two (2) motors, foot switch and thermal protection cords into the bottom of the control panel
while making sure they are locked into the receptacles. Each plug is different and can only be
plugged into one receptacle to prevent accidental electric shock and/or overloads.
2. Step on the foot switch and press the “Start” button.
3. Run the auger through a “break-in” period if it is being used for the first time or for the first time of
the season.
4. “Polish” the flighting by running the auger at partial capacity until it is smooth, before attempting
full capacity.
PNEG-1366 12" and 16" Series II Sweep Quick Disconnect Control Box Kit33
Page 34
7. Operation
Gear reducer is shipped without oil. Add the proper amount of the recommended
lubricant before operating. Failure to observe these precautions could result in
damage to, or destruction of, the equipment.
Keep out of the bin while the bin sweep auger is in operation. The rapidly moving
sweep auger can cause SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
Be alert for any unusual vibrations, noises and the loosening of any fasteners. If
anything unusual is detected, immediately shut down the auger, disconnect and
lock out the power source before servicing.
NEVER enter the bin while the bin sweep is in operation.
NEVER attempt to control the operation of the bin sweep by depressing the
operating controls with shovels, brooms or any other objects.
DO NOT attempt to restrain movement of the bin sweep with ropes, bars or
other devices.
NEVER allow an operator to attempt to manually restrain the bin sweep.
Operating the Sweep Auger
NOTE: The auger capacity can fluctuate greatly under varying conditions. Moisture content, different
commodities, amount of foreign matter and speeds all play a part in the performance of the
auger. Twenty five percent (25%) moisture may cut capacity by as much as 40% under
some conditions.
1. Make certain there are at least two (2) people in the work area to monitor operations at all times.
2. Start the bin unloading equipment before starting the bin sweep auger.
3. Shut down the auger as soon as the bin is empty.
4. Consideration should be given to the proper size auger for any intermittent type operations. When
augers are stopped and restarted under full load, it may result in damage to the auger. Using a
larger diameter auger and reducing its load level will be far better than subjecting a smaller diameter
auger to big loads. If an auger is kept from absolute filling, it will make start-up easier and will convey
more efficiently.
34PNEG-1366 12" and 16" Series II Sweep Quick Disconnect Control Box Kit

7. Operation
Operating the Sweep Auger Control Panel
A. The sweep operates in two (2) different “modes”.
1. Automatic (The auger motor runs and the drive motor runs using the Amp Meter in the
control panel.)
Step on the foot switch and press the “Start” button. The auger motor will turn ON and the drive
motor will turn ON only if the Amp Meter reaches the “Low” set point.
2. Manual (Overrides the Amp Meter and allows the operator to manually move the sweep.)
a. Idle (Allows the auger motor to run, but does not move the sweep forward or reverse.)
b. Forward (Auger motor will run and moves the sweep towards the grain.)
c. Reverse (Stops the auger motor and moves the sweep away from the grain.)
Step on the foot switch and press the “Start” button. The auger motor will turn, but the sweep will not move.
Turn the “Manual” switch to “Forward” and the sweep will move forward towards the grain. Turn the
“Manual” switch to “Reverse” and the auger motor will shut off and move the sweep b ackwards away from
the grain.
The “Start” button MUST be pressed to start the auger motor again.
NOTE: The foot switch MUST be depressed and the thermal protection must be connected before the
sweep will operate.
